Chapter 670: Moths Flying into the Flame, Sun and Shadow
"What! Na Xiu, you are pregnant!"
In the Tree Snake City, palaces are stacked on top of each other. Shulot stood in the side hall of the living room, his eyes widened, and he was shocked when he looked at the "little fox" Naxiu who was kneeling on the ground. But when he looked at Naxiu's slightly bulging belly, he was surprised.
And I can't help but admit the reality, that is, I have become a father again!
"How could this be so! Na Xiu, aren't you... not pregnant?"
"Your Highness...my master...I..."
Naxiu knelt on the ground, her body shaking slightly. She knew that she had no way to hide it, and she had to face the king's choice and face the unpredictable fate. She bit her whitened red lips, lowered her head and answered softly, without any concealment.
.
"I...before I served His Highness, the priestesses did not deprive me of my ability as a woman. They just asked me to take comfrey juice for contraception on time...Last autumn, when I served you, I did not take comfrey juice..."
Speaking of this, Naxiu's hands and feet were trembling. For some reason, when she graduated from the temple, the priestesses of the temple did not feed her an overdose of the poisonous temple medicine soup like they did to other shadow slaves.
Earth Mother Silver Liquid, thereby permanently sterilizing her. She knew that the consequences of using those drugs would be that her life span would be greatly shortened and her body would become extremely weak.
Before she served His Highness, the high priest ordered her to take comfrey juice regularly to block monthly menstruation and maintain contraception. Lithospermum juice is the coldest, and if taken for too long, it will cause permanent damage.
She lost her fertility. She took comfrey juice obediently for more than a year, until the high priest suddenly left for the Kingdom of God...
The shackles of the slave in her heart gradually opened in front of His Highness, who was different and unusually warm, just like ice melting under the sun and seeds sprouting in the soil. And the strong female desire gradually overwhelmed the inner struggle. Finally, she
I quietly stopped taking the comfrey juice, and after three months, I returned to normal menstruation. Next, I calculated the days, and had sex with His Highness all night long on the map of the world, several times in a row.
..
Confusing thoughts flashed through Na Xiu's mind, making her fearful and longing. Finally, she finally mustered up the courage to fly into the flames and looked at her beloved and only Highness with all her eyes.
Begging out loud.
"Your Highness, I can get pregnant...I want to give you a child!..."
"Ah! Pregnant...give me a baby..."
Hearing this, Shulot pursed his lips and felt ups and downs. The fact that the Shadow Slave was not sterilized was naturally not due to the priestess' negligence, but must have been arranged by his grandfather. Perhaps, in his grandfather's heart, he still hoped that he could help the family.
Loose leaves.
"my child!..."
At this moment, Shulot looked at Naxiu's bright eyes, and was confused for a moment. The moth, with the determination to devote everything, rushed towards the flame of her love, even though she was afraid, she still longed from the heart. Until this moment
, Shulot realized his true intentions.
"After all, I am different from the great nobles of this era. I have never really regarded Na Xiu as a shadow slave or a tool. I regard her as the woman I love and give her care and space to grow.
The seeds sprouted in the soil and slowly grew into a big tree. She also slowly grew into a complete woman who loves me..."
Shulot lowered his eyes and his thoughts gradually became clearer. After a moment, he opened his eyes and asked calmly.
"Naxiu, how long have you been pregnant?"
"Your Highness, I am... four months pregnant..."
"Four months? Why are you telling me now!"
"I..."
Naxiu pressed her head tightly to the ground, feeling the coldness of the stone tiles in the hall. She didn't know how to answer, and she didn't even understand why she kept delaying until now to report back to His Highness.
There was silence in the main hall. After a while, Naxiu repeated in a low voice with a cry.
"Your Highness, I want to give you a child!... As long as I give birth to one, your child! Even if I die after giving birth..."
"Naxiu... Naxiu..."
Shulot closed his eyes and remained silent, thinking about the follow-up arrangements. The hall was silent again, like deathly silence.
Eckart lowered his head and stared at his toes, as if he wanted to see the flowers. He waited for a long time before asking in a low voice.
"Master, what should we do next?"
Shulot was silent for a moment, feeling a little guilty in his heart. The relationship between the alliance and the kingdom was at its most close and sensitive. At this time, if an illegitimate child appeared and King Avit knew about it, there would definitely be no good results.
"A qualified king needs to clearly distinguish between reality and desire...the overall situation of the kingdom is my responsibility..."
Hearing this, Eckart raised his brows and nodded. With murderous intent in his eyes, he glanced at Naxiu, who was pale and trembling all over, and nodded in response.
"Master, I understand... Then, where is the child?"
"Child? That's my child, the blood of my family..."
Shulot murmured, feeling vaguely absent-minded. He unexpectedly became the father of two children so quickly.
"Master, I understand!"
Eckart nodded heavily and replied in a deep voice.
"Please leave everything to me! Just pretend you don't know about this..."
"Woo, woo woo..."
Na Xiu fell on the ground, hugged her abdomen with both hands, and cried softly. After hearing His Highness's words, she felt despair at first, and then felt a little relieved. As long as His Highness's blood remained, she could go to God safely.
The country is over...
"Um?"
Shulot came back to his senses and looked at Na Xiu with a determined look on his face, and Eckardt with an equally determined look on his face. His expression was startled. After a moment, he noticed something, widened his eyes, and asked sharply.
"Eckart, what do you understand?!"
"Eh?...Master, you don't mean to keep the child..."
Eckart was stunned, pointed at Naxiu, and then wiped his neck.
"Then, let everything disappear?... This is also the practice of the great nobles of the alliance."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "What? Bastard! Bastard!"
The corners of Shulot's eyes twitched and he cursed repeatedly.
"Who asked you to make wild guesses? The Lord God is witness! As a king and a man, I need to stand up, take my responsibility, and face all this!"
"Ah? This..."
Eckart was stunned. He was a little at a loss and asked in a low voice.
"So, Patriarch, where is the Alliance?"
"Eckart, protect her! A child cannot live without a mother, and Naxiu has not failed me!"
Shulot pursed his lips and made a deep decision. At this time, he thought of the kindness of the warrior commander Bertard. The warrior commander could always understand his thoughts without even saying a word.
"Block the news and don't allow any leaks! Will you arrange the temple for the priestess in the kingdom?"
"Ah! Master, I understand!"
Eckart nodded again. Looking at His Highness' suspicious eyes, he added another explanation.
"I will mobilize the most loyal family warriors to guard this place tightly and not let any news escape! After the child arrives, I will send the two of them to the temple in the hinterland of the kingdom. In the mountains southwest of Patzcuaro City
There is a temple of Tonakasihuatl, the goddess of fertility, in the hands of the Holy City. It is secluded and remote and not open to outsiders. It is also a sanctuary for the priestesses of the kingdom, and is the best place to protect newborn children.
!”
"Well, let's do it!"
Shulot thought for a moment and nodded in agreement. Then, he looked at Naxiu who was kneeling on the ground and said in a deep voice.
"Naxiu, get up and stop kneeling! Don't have fetal contractions and rest peacefully."
"Ah! Your Highness, my master, you... do you still want me?"
There were tears on Naxiu's face, and there was both sincere joy and uneasy fear in her eyes. She knelt for a long time, her knees were weak, and her limbs were weak. Pregnancy made her weak. She tried hard to climb several times, but she couldn't get out of it.
Get up from the ground.
"..."
Shulot shook his head. He took two steps forward and carefully helped Naxiu up. Then, he squatted down, put his ear against Naxiu's bulging belly, and listened.
"Winter...dong..."
There was no sound, only the rapid beating of the heart. That was not the child's, but Naxiu's.
As Shulot listened to the heartbeat and felt the woman's breathing, his expression gradually became calmer. In his heart, the joy of becoming a father slowly emerged, and the corners of his mouth curled up instinctively. In half a year, he will have more children.
A child, I don’t know if it is a boy or a girl.
Shulot listened quietly like this for a long time, as if a river was flowing in his heart. After a while, he stood up, with a solemn look on his face, and gave instructions in a deep voice.
"Naxiu, from now on, you cannot appear in front of anyone except the family warriors who protect you! And when the child is born, you will take the child to live in seclusion in the kingdom's temple."
"Your Highness..."
Naxiu bit her lip, with unbreakable emotion in her eyes, and asked in a low voice.
"Do you... still want me?"
Shulot raised his brows, looked solemn for a moment, and nodded. He pondered for a moment and made his promise clearly.
"Naxiu, you are my woman and you are pregnant with my child. You and Eckardt have to deal with the work of valet and intelligence. You have not neglected your duty, but... you are not suitable to be around me for the time being. Go ahead! Wait for the child to be born.
Come down, go to the temple, and concentrate on raising your children. My ancestors have witnessed that I will not let you down!"
Naxiu was stunned, lowered her head, hugged the king's waist and pressed against his chest.
"Yes, Master. I will listen to you. Naxiu will always belong to you...even though you will always belong to someone else..."
Xiulote was silent. He stayed in the palace for another half day. It was not until Na Xiu lay down sleepily that the king left the palace.
"Eckart, please don't let the news leak out and attract the attention of the capital city in the lake. There shouldn't be any big changes in the Guards that would make anyone aware of it!"
"Yes, Master!"
Eckart responded loudly. Then, he hesitated.
"Then, how should I explain the changes around you..."
"..."
Shulot was silent again. He raised his head, squinted his eyes, and looked at the sun in the sky. The sun's rays fell on his face, hot and dazzling. After a while, the king closed his eyes and looked at the bright sun.
In the middle, Youyou opened his mouth.
"Let's just say that Naxiu is acclimated, is seriously ill, and her life or death is uncertain. She has been sent to the kingdom for emergency treatment. This news should only be leaked a little, and don't publicize it loudly."
"Yes, Master!"
The white clouds were lingering, the red sun was setting in the west, and the king's palace was the shadow of falling clouds. The monarch and his ministers fell into silence again. After a long time, Shulot sighed, thinking about the lover he had not seen for several years, and his heart was filled with guilt.
.
"Can the bright sun also have a shadow? Will the pure clouds accept the shadow of the sun?..."
"Ah? Master, what did you say?"
"I said, the rainy season is coming soon, so hurry up and prepare for spring plowing!"
Shulot shook his head slightly, with a calm expression. Then, he took steps towards the camp outside the city, while the sun set behind him, casting a long shadow.
